Joe's been stepping up all year, taking big shots and making big shots. There is no question everybody on the team believes in him.

It was a set play, and we pretty much ran it to perfection. That was a huge shot, and I needed to step up and make that one. It was a three-point game, but it didn't go down for me.

Players have to step up when you're playing against great teams. Now is no different.
